  same, but in 2016 :( at least we suspected that's what the cause was since it was in the upper hind leg / near base of tail. cat was healthy for 9yrs before this.

    Our was 14. Never got this official diagnosis, but given location of tumor.... Well, Israeli street cat average lifespan is 1-2 years. You can say that he got 9 lifes

  I'm so sorry to hear that :'( Ever since I read about VAS/FISS last year, I've been re-evaluating our cat's vaccination needs, especially since he's indoor-only and doesn't interact with other cats. I'll continue to get him the three-year FVRCP and rabies vaccines, since they're pretty terrible diseases, and the former three are super contagious, but FeLV and FIV seem unnecessary considering his circumstances.

    I'll suggest every now and then (couple of weeks) to feel your cat through the skin in order to early discover any growth. When we discovered tumor it was too big to remove (it went from his neck to hind leg on one side of backbone)
